What you need to know

New tax laws put in place for 2018 have proven to be the most challenging to understand in 30 years.

Meals and entertainment deductions are no more.

Meal expenses for business presentations are deductible.

The199A deductionoffers a 20% reduction of business income from your taxable income - and is a very complicated calculation. Please go to your APP Store and download our “Go Legal Yourself” APP to receive Kasey’s free PDF on this topic.

The IRS views Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency as “property” so on your taxes, you’ll need to include the fair market value of that property. It will be taxed.

There are a few tax credits business owners should be aware of: New business owners can receive a $5,000 expense deduction. This means your expense for Kelly’s “Go Legal Yourself! Start-Up Essentials” is completely deductible on your taxes!

Finally, if you’re in California, be aware you could be subject to 8 different taxes! Otherwise investigate the required ABC’s taxes in your area.

Today in our 3rd and final episode in the the 3-part series, I’ll be covering #11 through #15 of the Fifteen business laws every entrepreneur should know. So let’s get started on the final episode for this series!

The CAN-SPAM Act, a law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have you stop emailing them, and spells out tough penalties for violations. The law makes no exception for business-to-business email.

The Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography And Marketing Act of 2003, signed into law by President George W. Bush on December 16, 2003, established the United States' first national standards for the sending of commercial e-mail and requires the Federal Trade Commission to enforce its provisions.

#12 - FTC Telemarketing Marketing Sales Rule

The Telemarketing Sales Rule, which requires telemarketers to make specific disclosures of material information; prohibits misrepresentations; sets limits on the times telemarketers may call consumers; prohibits calls to a consumer who has asked not to be called again; and sets payment restrictions for the sale of certain goods and services.

It instantly opens your business to a new audience but that exposure comes with regulations. It poses questions about shipping, taxes, and customs. Make sure you speak with your CPA or Accountant about his.

Many companies keep sensitive personal information about customers or employees in their files or on their network. Having a sound security plan in place to collect only what you need, keep it safe, and dispose of it securely can help you meet your legal obligations to protect that sensitive data.The FTC has free resourcesfor businesses of any size.

Today in our 2nd of the 3-part series, I’ll be covering #6 through #10 of the 15 business laws every entrepreneur should know. So let’s get started.

# 6 - At Will Work Doctrine

At will employment means that an employee can leave a job whenever they want for any reason, and employers can terminate an employee for any reason without notice or cause. The intent of the at will employment doctrine is to prevent wrongful termination and employment lawsuits between employees and employers.

# 7 - Obtain an Employer Identification Number (EIN)

The Employer Identification Number, also known as the Federal Employer Identification Number or the Federal Tax Identification Number, is a unique nine-digit number assigned by the Internal Revenue Service to business entities operating in the United States for the purposes of identification.

# 8 - Know the taxes you have to pay

Review the Federal Social Security Tax. A Social Security tax is the tax levied on both employers and employees to fund the Social Security program. Social Security tax is usually collected in the form of payroll tax or self-employment tax. The Social Security tax pays for the retirement, disability, and survivorship benefits received by millions of Americans each year.

Review the Medicare tax.

Review the Federal Unemployment tax.

You’ll want to talk with an accountant or CPA about these obligations and figure out a budget to make sure that you’re compliant with these taxes.

Review your State Taxes.

# 9 - Hiring Employees

When you plan on bringing on an employee, it will impact your taxes. Research the differences between a W-2 Employee and a and a 1099 Contractor.

This law requires that all advertising and marketing be truthful. When consumers see or hear an advertisement, whether it's on the Internet, radio or television, or anywhere else, federal law says that ad must be truthful, not misleading, and, when appropriate, backed by scientific evidence.

I really hope these five business laws have been useful for you. You know, it’s your responsibility as a business owner to make sure you cover yourself financially and legally.

First impressions matter.

It’s not just about selling your products or services. It’s about building and maintaining the relationships you’ll need to be successful.

Marketing is not an expense. It’s an investment. It’s important to understand how best and where to invest.

There are so many definitions for marketing, and I’m going to share with you my definition of marketing:

“Marketing is a tool that gets you discovered.”

Basics 1: before making any decisions, make a Marketing Plan, just like you would if you were going on a vacation, or planing anything that requires detail and planning to keep out of trouble. A Marketing Plan serves as a roadmap to your success. It details the success route you’ll need to follow to get your business noticed.

Basics 2: you must have a Marketing Budget. I highly suggest you sit down with a professional marketer and let them know everything. Share with them the big picture you have for your business. Most often you’ll need to start small but if your marketer knows the big picture, this will help them craft the plan.

There are so many definitions for marketing, and I’m going to share with you my definition of marketing:

Below are the social media handles and the "Cost / Effort" chart we referred to in this episode. The “Instant Boost Capital” is the working capital product we developed for our 504 borrowers who have the capacity to take on additional W/C debt, and was the reason we were doing the research in this area to begin with. This graph has been very helpful in explaining the different sources of small business debt capital - and the cost of that capital - to early stage entrepreneurs and small biz owners.

Where to Find It Part 3Money. Where to Find It Part 3Tue, 24 Jul 2018 20:29:31 +0000We’re still talking about money, and where to find it. Today I’m talking in part 3 about raising “venture capital” or finding an “angel investor.”

Venture capital firms make direct investments in companies in exchange for equity stakes in the business. VCs (venture capital firms) tend to be highly selective and usually only invest in businesses that are already established and have shown the ability to generate profit.

Another option you may have is to obtaining money from an “angel investor.” If you can’t get enough money from the bank or your own assets, and you don’t have a rich uncle, you can always look for a wealthy non-relative. Some well-off individuals like to invest in startup ventures often in an ownership stake in your own business. These investors are known as “angel investors.” Typically an “angel investor” has been successful in a particular industry and is looking for new opportunities. Not only can they offer you financing for your business right off the ground, but some are willing to offer guidance based off their own experience.

Here’s the main takeaway of this episode:

If you’re looking for someone that’s going to invest in your business, make sure they come with knowledge, experience, and connections that can help you grow - so your business becomes successful.

You’re probably asking yourself “How do I find these ‘angel investors?’” It can take some research. Many “angel investors” prefer to keep a low profile and can only be found by asking other business owners, financial advisors, and business attorneys. Often you’ll find these people in networking groups likeStartupGRIND Carlsbad, where people collaborate and meet new people.

Remember, you only have one shot at getting the attention of an “angel investor” so spend some time honing your pitch down to an art. You’ll need to tell them:

why your service or product will be a hit

why your business will stand-out in the market

why you are the right person to run the business

and how much of a return on the investment your “angel” can expect.

The best way to prepare for all of this and these questions is to sit down and draft your business plan. Go back NOW and listen toEpisode 2: The Power of a Business Planto find out more. If you’re looking for a business template, at Go Legal Yourself you’ll findthe perfect business planfor you to use, especially if you’re looking for money.

Where to Find It Part 2Money. Where to Find It Part 2Tue, 17 Jul 2018 19:30:00 +0000In this part 2 of the 4 part series “Money. Where to Find It” we’re talking about borrowing from family and friends.

You can always turn to people who you know best. It can be easier to persuade them rather than the big banks. Borrowing money from a personal friend or family member is a very popular option. Even though they’re a family member or friend, you still need everything in writing so everyone is on the same page.

A 2015 survey found that 68% of small businesses used financing from family and friends, but borrowing from family or a friend can be tricky as well. Needless to say, borrowing from family and friends comes with its own set of risks.

Make sure you have the terms of the loan clearly written down. This includes:

how much to be borrowed

the amount of interest to be charged

the time-table for when the repayment will occur.

You can also give them the option to convert their loan into equity in your company.

So remember, the 2nd way you get get money to finance your business, is to receive a loan from family and friends - both with the option of converting the loan into equity in your company.

When you get sued, it’s usually an internal threat by desperate, dishonest people who have worked for you. For this reason, it’s very important to hire independent contractors "the right way."

In the US people can be classified as employees or independent contractors. The distinction really boils down to the business owner paying taxes to the state if using employees. There is more critical information in this episode, so please listen to it in its entirety.

A recent ruling by the California Supreme Court has placed more restraints on the definition of the Independent Contractor. If you’re a business owner in California, this ruling could directly impact your bottom line.

As a business owner, the Independent Contractor must pass these 3 tests:

Test A: the independent contractor must be free from your control

Test B: that the worker performs work that is outside the usual course of the hiring entity’s business

Test C: that the worker is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, or business, and of the same nature as the work performed for the hiring entity.

For example:

Do all partners agree that company decisions are to be unanimous or by a majority vote? This is important and you’ll want to sit down with your partners and think this one through.

How much equity (ownership) will each partner have in the company?

Again, sit down with your partners and think about who’s going to be in charge of what? How much work will each partner have and hold them to that work as well. According to that work, make sure you do an “equity split.”

How will company assets be split upon the event of a dissolution? Think about this. Think about the bigger picture.

Discus all of these issues with your partners making sure you have all of these written down in a partnership agreement. All of these issues and many more must be tackled and addressed in a comprehensive partnership agreement at the outset of forming your partnership.

Generally as a employer, you should limit your liability before taking on any new employees.

The three “must haves” are:

an employee handbook which is given out to all new employees. The handbook should address everything from the company’s sexual harassment policy to the office dress code. You’ll have them read the handbook and sign an acknowledgment form. This handbook should also cover all of the employee’s “rights.” Again, have them read it and acknowledge that they’ve received and read the handbook.

an employee agreement. This can be as simple as one page or as elaborate as it needs to be. But you should have one.
